Flard of Reptilianville




Neak and Neaksis, I was trying to find an online picture of Pithy and the Singer's wayward son, Larkspur, and after googling him was unsuccessful, decided to google your brother, Flard. I think this Robert is the guy that came out here and helped with the roof last summer. Look down towards the bottom of the right hand side of the page, and there Flard is in his natural habitat. There are several other pictures scattered on the site that involve your brother in close proximity to less-than-snuggly animalia. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Robert also gave him a very nice compliment, too...but the whole thing stll makes me sad. I'd send it in your emails, but don't know how to do such a high-tech task except here. How pathetic is that?! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> Besides, they've seen everybody else in the family now. Why should HE be protected from the shame of belonging to this ragtag bunch of human beings that comprise the Neaks?! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Except Gel--did we expose her too? And is she still reading so she'd find out she'd been "immortalized"? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

I'll take Mr. Computer and the Pwiththeth tomorrow for school. If Neaksis could bring them over when she comes to work here, that'd be great. Otherwise I'll pick them up at your house when I can finally roust my crumbling carcasse out of the sack. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

G'evenin to the ladies of the shopping isle.

Those cotton thingoes saved my butt more than once so I'm not going to whinge about them !! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

AW got onto the email a little while ago still looking like death warmed up - of course she went into work for a while as well just to prove how tough she is - and came home looking worse for wear, anyway she was emailing someone or responding, one or the udder, and all I did was offer to cook her some green bacon as i like bacon, and she went white ran past me calling me a Bas...d for some reason, I still dont know what I did but of course I guess I'm wrong whatever it was.
But the bacon was nice anyway with some tomato and lettuce and some mothers sauce insdie a roll.

Shes been fillin the porcelin bowl for a while so mum made her eat some goop or the other.

Then made me Salmon, pasta and mothers sauce extra garlic and sea salt for a snack as long as I didn't start cooking my roo for a late meal?? Why ??? its the best meat out. Women are strange. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

anyway I'm hiding out again in case someone wants something. DD is a bit better but not eating - never freakin eats if you ask me, but what do I know I'm only a dad!

You'd better keep hiding here, then. Even if they know where to find you, they will figure you can't cook anything.

Poor AW. I'm just surprised you didn't go with her, hold her head, and croon all the yummy things you would make for her when she feels better.

The Dervish woke up with a cold, so I got to give him cough medicine. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> What a nice day this is turning out to be!

rescuing us from oblivion!!!

The appraiser is late, and thanks to my menehunes, I am now ready and twiddling my thumbs (actually fixing supper, but whatever...) until he gets here.

My kids have their first therapy appointment Friday morning, so we'll see how that goes, too.

Oh, he's here, so must dash!

I am still the most favored mom! My children are still raving about last nights pot roast. Saving leftovers for Thurs dinner - they spent this evening w/ their dad and tomorrow we are planning to eat at church. $5 for me, they are free....and I don't have to cook or clean up.

No clean up is the best! Enjoy every minute of it.

hey guys

I'm back and feeling a lot better. Some bug from the friendly workplace I think.
Mikey is sound asleep and seems pretty much ok the poor little man. I feel so guilty not feeding him while I'm crook but want to make sure he doesn't get what I have. I think hes a bit confused though as he sees me & expecting a feed and ends up with mum or Aussie giving him a bottle.

However I'm going to have an early night just to be on the safe side. Dear old mum has been looking after us all and spoiling Aussie, Mikey & dd. She just has been bossing me!!
Ok then NOT old I mean she not 60 yet <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> but close!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Aaah maybe I won't cook after all, that chicken meat oh yuck


mummy!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

>Flard of Reptilianville

My Rebekah is going to be like Flard when she grows up. She's already claimed the anaconda at the zoo "hers". D'ya think it's because I had a pet python when pg with her? We've even got a pic of me kissing Ka on the cabaza while sporting a burgeoning belly. Her absolute favorite animal is anacondas....That's pretty big thing for such a girly girl.

Cinders - I make homemade pot pie out of my leftover roast. I just throw mixed veggies, the meat, and all the leftover gravy in a casserole dish and lay a pie crust over the top. Bake till golden....NUM! Sometimes, if I'm lazy, I'll layer biscuts instead of pie crust on the top....WA-LA! Dinner!

AW - I'm sorry I gave you the stomach plague. You see, Friday before last, I had a little guy puking in my cleavage. It was inevitable that I got it...and doubly so, since we know how virulent computers can be....

Love to you and your familias!

- Kimmy

Hello Kimbers & tl (hope you are tl again oops) & neak & neakers all <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I just finished putting AW to bed along with Mikey who is sound asleep snuggled up to mum, a nice bowl of cream of chicken soup and dry bread and she is ok.

Should have seen her go pale looking at the chicken she was going to crumb and fry with chips. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
bit too ambitious I think <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
But at least she didn't bring anything up, just not 100% yet.

Aussie is late again, something to do with choosing whatever a m40 something something and a aw, I don't thinks its our aw hes talking about and things. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
DD is eating at Hungry Jacks - Burger king to you guys i think - with friends from uni, then she's off to the teaching hospital to do a autopsy <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> ewwwwwwwww yuck.

Aussie got written about in the Sunday papers and we are so proud of our wild boy. AW was so so proud she cried <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Aussie thought it was a load of cockie poo <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />
And we only found out the writer was referring to Aussie because his wife rang AW and told her last week.
If I ever find out how to use this scanner thingy I'll post it her because I'm proud of him too! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

(sniff) We ALL are proud of him AWMum.

Sounds like everyone is still enjoying real life. Or living it at any rate. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Neak,
If you don't mind ....... how about a status report.
I have skimmed your posts, but may have missed something.

You sound good on the surface. I'm trying to know if I'm feeling undercurrents, or if it's just in my head.

Are you still having doubts sometimes?

SS

I'd love to stay and chat, but Duty calls. Actually, Duty isn't just calling...right now, it's stamping its foot and making rude gestures, too. It might even have just called me a bad name, but it wasn't quite loud enough for me to hear it exactly. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> So I have to go. But I hope to be back--maybe tomorrow. Keep on having fun. Or not.

t&l

headed to bed....tomorrow night we have the reruns of the pot roast.....don't know if it will be pot roast or beef stew...

have you ever used phyllo or puff pastry instead of pie crust on top of something.....cobbler, pot pie, most anything....simply wonderful. children love it...lots

oh, which paper talked about our favorite hero?

Scanner 101: Place newspaper article face-down on glass surface of scanner. Make sure scanner is on, then press Scan button. A window should pop up asking what you want to do with it. Save it to the computer, then upload it to Yahoo Photos, or whatever photo place AW uses. Once the article is stored online, copy the link so we can see what it is.

Alternately, if the newspaper is online, search for the article on their website. You may be able to post the link directly from them.

SS, nice to hear from you. Honestly, I'm not quite sure how I am, but am still progressing, whatever that means.

I am still weighed down pretty heavily with grief, but getting ready for that appraisal helped me to get a little more up to speed physically, and I can work longer than 10-15 minutes at a time. M-wise we are pretty good. The urge to D comes over me less often now, and AJ has been doing many thoughtful things for me. The only unthoughtful things there have been, he doesn't realize (yet) how it affected me. (But that was only last night, so I haven't had a chance to separate myself from it enough to talk.) Overall we are pretty good.

How is your family?

Rella, Gellnjen was the one who introduced us to puff pastry. I've never tried it that way, but made some killer cherry strudels once. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

HELLO ALL

I'm not supposed to be here tonight but Aussie & grumpy are both off doing men things AGAIN!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Its Good Friday and they should be home with their wives!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

In any event, AW has been walking up & down, up & down with Mikey who has gas and is crying every few minutes while she pats his back and talks to him, boy oh boy do I remember that with her!! when he finally burped about 20 minutes ago you could have heard him over there !! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />
AW eyes look like the black hole of Calcutta right now so i sent her off to bed to sleep and now i can't. Mikey was resisting but looks as if he's out like a light.. 10.00am mass for us tomorrow.

I rang that paper to see if the mag they had the article in was online - no that costs money.
The instructions were great neak except for one thing - there are 4 buttons which all say copy, scan, print..one is yellow, one is green, one is blue and one is gray. I couldn't even lift the lid for ages until I realised it was hinged the other way !!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

So I had a brain storm - watch out neak I'll give advice next !!! hee hee hee - I had AW ring the writers wife - the Govenor General wrote it in response to an article last week about there being no ANZAC spirit left in Australia.
What nonsense. She is sending AW a copy from his computer!! isn't that good?? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Today being Good Friday - its 3.15am - means for us that we have fish as the meat for our meals throughout today. breakfast is fresh fruit, dried fruit like figs & banana, apricots & various nuts, suits our climate anyway.
lunch is at Doc Mandy's which Aussie has instructions to attend even if WW3 starts buster!! Ditto and more to grumpy!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />
We are all bring a salad and some cheese and snacks in addition to barramundi fillets and prawns. Mandy's hubby - yes you guessed it another J*** can you believe it - is a wonderful chef who has his own cafes. he & Aussie were mates before they married sisters and have been know to paint the town red, blue and green a few times <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

My only question is where do you get Salmon in Australia?

Happy Easter to the Aussies!

Happy Easter everyone.

He is Risen Cookies

To be made the evening before Easter
You will need:
1 cup whole pecans
1 tsp. vinegar
3 egg whites
pinch salt
1cup sugar

zipper baggie
wooden spoon
tape
Bible
Preheat oven to 300 degrees (this is important-- don't wait til you're half-done with the recipe!)

Place pecans in zipper baggie and let children beat them with the wooden spoon to break into small pieces. Explain that after Jesus was arrested, He was beaten by the Roman soldiers.
Read John 19:1-3.

Let each child smell the vinegar. Put 1 tsp. vinegar into mixing bowl. Explain that when Jesus was thirsty on the cross, He was given vinegar to drink.
Read John 19:28-30.

Add egg whites to vinegar. Eggs represent life. Explain that Jesus gave His life to give us life.
Read John 10:10-11.

Sprinkle a little salt into each child's hand. Let them taste it and brush the rest into the bowl. Explain that this represents the salty tears shed by Jesus' followers, and the bitterness of our own sin. Read Luke 23:27.

So far, the ingredients are not very appetizing. Add 1 cup sugar. Explain that the sweetest part of the story is that Jesus died because He loves us. He wants us to know and belong to Him.
Read Ps.34:8 and John 3:16.

Beat with a mixer on high speed for 12 to 15 minutes until stiff peaks are formed. Explain that the color white represents the purity in God's eyes of those whose sins have been cleansed by Jesus. Read Isa. 1:18 and John 3:1-3.

Fold in broken nuts. Drop by teaspoons onto wax paper covered cookie sheet. Explain that each mound represents the rocky tomb where Jesus' body was laid. Read Matt. 27:57-60.

Put the cookie sheet in the oven, close the door and turn the oven OFF.

Give each child a piece of tape and seal the oven door. Explain that Jesus' tomb was sealed. Read Matt. 27:65-66.

GO TO BED! Explain that they may feel sad to leave the cookies in the oven overnight. Jesus' followers were in despair when the tomb was sealed. Read John 16:20 and 22.

On Easter morning, open the oven and give everyone a cookie.
Notice the cracked surface and take a bite. The cookies are hollow! On the first Easter, Jesus' followers were amazed to find the tomb open and empty.
Read Matt. 28:1-9

tidying up and just about ready to go to bed, we get salmon from Tasmania. Tasmania is a large island state off the sotheast coast of mainland Australia
Huge business mainly export as the rivers are so clean you can drink out of many of them still.
They use these massive ocean nets to keep the stock pure and the white pointers love jumping into them. Thats all I needed to know not to go have a look at them <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
